my birthday gift to the celebrant

my birthday gift to the celebrant

I got a chance again to make my own version of ham and cheese macaroni salad today, instead of bringing a birthday cake, i thought to share my specialty during our family dinner tonight in my sister’s place for baby Gab’s birthday.

My nephew turns 2 years old today… and it reminds me that my little girl’s 2nd birthday is fast approaching too. Oh! how time flies fast! My sister did not throw a big kiddie party this year, so she invited direct family members only and treat all of us for a simple “salu-salo” with just 2 main dishes, 1 cake and 2 desserts. And it turned out to be an intimate celebration and the  2 year old birthday celebrant seems not to care that it’s his birthday and how the gathering is going. It is a simple yet a happy occasion with the family and a practical one.

Yes, i think it’s practical enough not to throw a big 2nd birthday party to your kids especially after a grand 1st birthday party, because after all… kids at this age won’t care yet. I will postpone another coming year or two for another big kiddie party for my daughter so this year should be a simple one too.

Welcome Year 2009!

the midnight table
I don’t want to list down and discuss all the New Year’s resolution I have in mind now because ever since I was a child, none of my new year’s resolution list is exactly followed. All I did is reflecting for 10 minutes before the clock strikes 12, I don’t want to promise anything thru a list but I want God to guide me to do good things throughout this year.

As soon as the clock strikes exactly 12 midnight, everybody in the house start gathering in the table, pray and eat! What we have in the table for New Year is something that I really want to prepare for this occasion. Again, I made my specialty spaghetti and fruit salad, I ordered a Chocolate Roll from Red Ribbon and a honey glazed Chicken Ham from Dimsum Break, 1 pack of Toblerone chocolates and many more.
